STEM Africa Fest, West Africa’s largest experiential science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) festival for children and young people, is set to return for its sixth edition across Nigeria, with its flagship Lagos edition scheduled to take place on Saturday, July 18, 2026, at the Landmark Event Centre, Lagos.
The 2026 edition will also feature a multi-city rollout including Ilorin, reinforcing the festival’s growing reach beyond Lagos and its commitment to making STEM learning accessible, engaging, and practical for children and teenagers across Nigeria.
This year’s theme, “Building Future Innovators,” reflects the festival’s core mission of creating immersive, practical learning environments where children can explore, experiment, and apply STEM concepts in real-world contexts. It underscores a broader commitment to nurturing curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving skills while building early exposure to future-focused technologies and innovation pathways.
Speaking on the significance of the 2026 edition at a media parley in Lagos, the Co-organiser of STEM Africa Fest, Mrs. Jadesola Adedeji, reiterated the festival’s commitment to advancing STEM education and strengthening innovation capacity among children across Africa.
